how to: stove top espresso

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Madey Edlin under Black and White, food

This is the top with the filter on the bottom.

This is the bottom with the cone inserted (where coffee goes).

(This is the bottom without the cone insert)

Fill it with water.

This is the cone insert, where the coffee goes.

Put the cone in the bottom part, and fill it with finely ground coffee, but do not tamp it down.

Screw the top on.

Turn on just enough heat to heat the bottom without touching the handle.

Wait for the coffee to start bubbling out.

Wait for it…

Ah! There is it!

(let it percolate until all the water is used)

Tonights the big night durning the Christmas season, trimming the tree. My out-of-the-house siblings are spending the night, so we can get the tree today and decorate it tomorrow. These days are some of the best of the year.

What are your Christmas plans for this coming week? My grandparents and I had our traditional ornament shopping trip this past Tuesday. My Grandpa has gotten me an ornament since I was 4 years old. (And turned me into a ornament snob.) We have made of day of hunting down the perfect ornament together for about 5 years now.

For my photographer friends: IPS has released their 2012 calendar. (Europe again this Summer!!)

I am playing around with watermarks. Not sure I like watermarking, but part of me thinks that a picture looks polished with a watermark. What do you think?

Cheers!
